Wisteria House is a family home in Buckinghamshire. The client approached us with a brief to re-organise the internal layout, provide a garden extension and update the interiors.

We began by defining a clear axis and sequence of spaces through the home. An entrance hall provides clear views straight through the house to the back garden and a horizontal axis at the back connects the living room, breakfast nook, kitchen and utility. This means all the most-used spaces enjoy a south-facing garden view, whilst  less frequented areas - such as a formal dining room and study - are relocated to the front of the house.

The garden extension is a simple design with three brick piers separating two sections of glazing with scalloped ceramic tiles above. A large external window seat has been provided within the facade to allow someone to bask in the sun, read, and enjoy the beautiful garden beyond.

Wisteria House

“Adam and Laura helped me consider how I could rework my home to make better use of the space I had. I love my garden, and their proposal really demonstrated how I could better connect the rooms at the back of the house to the outside. They were prompt in their communication and responded well to my comments on their designs.”
